Who will do the movie Jana Gana Mana of Puri Jagannath is a million dollar question. During the promotions of ‘Rogue’, Puri Jagannath spoke about Jana Gana Mana, Retirement and his financial crisis.
The film was actually written for Mahesh Babu. There was a poster also from a fan for this title from Puri. But later it could not happen due to various issues and reasons. Then the same story was proposed with NTR. NTR liked it very much but did not say yes to Puri it is reported. What is the reason for NTR and Mahesh turning down the offer of Puri? Yes Puri has no hits after Temper. That is the real issue. Finance is also a problem for Puri these days.
Puri ‘has not thought about the retirement from films so far. May be, audience may not be thronging theaters in future that is the problem. Web Series could be the future. I am contemplating on making one’. said Puri philosophically.
The Film Puri made with a lot of fire was ‘Businessman! He was in a financial crisis then as few people cheated him to the tune of Rs 85 crore.
Though he used to get crores as remuneration, The money he received kept going into the hands of those people who offered the loans for financing. After ‘Neninthe’, This is the film liked by him most stated Puri’. ‘Usually, I complete the entire script work within 15 days. But for this subject Jana Gana Mana, I had worked for a period of 2 months. It’s a story based on difference between our country & other nations’. It is like a patriotic story explained Puri.
It is reported that Puri had those flops as he changed his regular team and believed in new faces led by a lady. Now he dumped the lady and also the new team members. Some of the members from the old team are back and Rogue is giving him hope.The Balaiah starrer Ustad is shaping well and he might get a hit again which would follow by another 5 films. Lets hope for the best.
